Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

Deputy Director Luo underestimated the trouble caused by Liu Fei and overestimated his own responsibility.

After a discussion with Director Yang of the steel rolling mill, not only did he fail to lift Liu Fei's suspension, but the situation became worse.

Director Yang decided that Liu Fei was a black sheep and that if he continued to stay in the factory, it would only shake the morale of the workers and destroy their enthusiasm for work. So a few days later, he held a meeting in the steel mill to discuss Liu Fei's problem.

As expected, Liu Fei was severely criticized by a large number of workers.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Director Yang issued an announcement that day to expel Liu Fei from the factory as a warning to others.

Having lost his job again, Liu Fei could only return home and sit there in boredom. Deputy Director Luo was also implicated and suffered many new injuries.

Cheng Hao looked at the cowardly Deputy Director Luo and shook his head. As the second-in-command of the street office, he couldn't even sort out the affairs at home and was bullied like this by a woman. It was really pathetic.

However, Deputy Director Luo did not delay his work. Cheng Hao did not want to meddle in other people's business. He just pretended not to see the other party's predicament and continued to focus on the work of the street office.

In the first week after the New Year holiday, the work of the street office ushered in a small peak.

Problems that had accumulated many years ago needed to be solved urgently. In just a few days, the people who came to do business formed a long queue, blocking the first-floor lobby.

All the staff of the subdistrict office are doing their best to deal with the situation, and many of them are so busy that they don’t even have time to drink water.

Just as the staff in the lobby on the first floor were secretly groaning, a familiar figure holding a familiar wooden box squeezed through the crowd and entered the street office.

The staff in the hall were all stunned and instantly recognized the other person's identity. The person who came was Liu Haizhong, the second uncle of the courtyard.

A few months ago, Liu Haizhong caused a scene in the Subdistrict Office and beat up Deputy Director Luo. The staff of the Subdistrict Office will never forget him.

"Second uncle, why are you here?"

Qin Huairu, who happened to be maintaining order in the hall, looked at Liu Haizhong who suddenly appeared and suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Of course I'm here to do some work."

Liu Haizhong said unhappily, and said in a deep voice with the airs of an elder: "Xiao Qin, call Cheng Hao over. I have something to tell him."

Qin Huairu's face was slightly stiff. She forced a smile and said kindly, "It's working time now, and the director is busy."

Cheng Hao was busy and had no time to fool around with Liu Haizhong.

"What I want to talk about is serious business, not personal matters. It's just a few words. Hurry up." Liu Haizhong urged impatiently.

"If you want to get things done, just go to the window and line up. The staff will help you answer any questions you have."

Qin Huairu pointed to the window and made a gesture of invitation. Her tone was gentle but her attitude was extremely firm.

It is impossible to help Liu Haizhong to make trouble. Qin Huairu is just a temporary worker now, and she will be easily fired if she makes any mistakes.

There are many people outside who are eyeing this job, and Qin Huairu doesn't want to give them an opportunity.

Liu Haizhong glared at Qin Huairu, but seeing that she was unmoved, he could only swallow his anger and go to queue up.

It would have been fine if it was Cheng Hao, but Qin Huairu, a mere temporary worker in the street office, actually dared not to give face to Liu Haizhong.

Lieutenant General Liu Hai made a note of Qin Huairu in a small notebook, thinking about how to punish her when he returned to the courtyard in the evening in order to consolidate his authority.

There were a lot of people coming to do business and the line was very long. I had to wait until noon when it was almost time to get off work before I got to Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong, who had been waiting for a long time, was furious. He directly put Liu Guangqi's urn on the counter, pointed at the words on the urn and said, "I am a family member of a martyr. I came here today to take care of my son's affairs."

After being delayed for half a year, seeing that Liu Guangqi's burial had not been carried out, Liu Haizhong had no choice but to come to the street office again to inquire.

The steel rolling mill has become a state-owned enterprise, and Liu Haizhong is now considered an employee of a state-owned enterprise. In addition, he holds the position of the second uncle in the factory, which makes him more confident.

I believe that even if we cannot meet all of Liu Hai’s requests this time, we should at least give in a little.

“Comrade, I’m sorry, our subdistrict office does not have the authority to handle matters related to martyrs.

If you have any questions, you can go to your unit to ask. "

The counter staff politely rejected Liu Haizhong's request.

The subdistrict office is mainly responsible for civil affairs, and there is a special department to take charge of military affairs.

Liu Haizhong was instantly unhappy when he heard this. He had waited in line for so long, but in the end he only got a few words.

Isn't this just not taking him seriously?

“I don’t care, tell your director to come down.

If you can't manage it, he should be able to manage it."

He was breathing heavily, his eyes as big as bells, staring at the staff at the counter.

"I'm sorry, this is really not our job. Even if the director comes here, he can't do it."

The counter staff was not intimidated by Liu Haizhong and remained calm and composed.

After working in the street office for a while, I have met all kinds of people and I am no longer surprised by them.

"I don't care, go get him down!"

Liu Haizhong patted the urn and raised his voice several degrees.

Qin Huairu, who was maintaining order on the side, couldn't stand it anymore and ran over to persuade him, "Second uncle, this is the street office, not the courtyard. Stop making trouble and go back quickly."

Liu Haizhong not only didn't listen to Qin Huairu's reminder, but became even more dissatisfied.

"What's wrong with the sub-district office? Isn't the sub-district office supposed to serve the people and help them with their affairs?

There's nothing wrong with me coming to the subdistrict office with a problem, but you guys are making excuses and using your power to make things difficult for me. This is outrageous!"

Liu Haizhong's shouting instantly set off a trend, and the people behind him who didn't know what was going on began to discuss in low voices.

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more serious, Cheng Hao on the third floor was finally alarmed.

Soon, Liu Haizhong was taken to the conference room on the second floor for a detailed discussion.

"Liu Haizhong, it seems that the punishment last time was too light. How dare you come to the Street Office to cause trouble again?"

As soon as they met, Cheng Hao asked coldly.

Even though Liu Haizhong looked very arrogant when he was on the first floor, Cheng Hao still lacked confidence in front of him and spoke haltingly.

“No… no, I’m not here to cause trouble, I’m here to do business.

Guangqi has not been buried yet. I have thought it through and agreed to bury him in the Martyrs Cemetery. Can't I ask you to help pass on a message to me?"

"It's a good thing to think it through."

Cheng Hao nodded, his expression still serious, and said seriously: "It's just that this matter is indeed not under the jurisdiction of our street office. Moreover, you have delayed it for too long, and the place in the Martyrs Cemetery was full a while ago.

You have to wait for a while until the new cemetery is built before you have the chance to be buried there."

"what?!"

Liu Haizhong was horrified and stammered, "Full...full? How is it possible that such a large cemetery is full just like that?"

“No matter how big the cemetery is, there is always limited space, and there are so many war dead waiting to be buried there.

I told you at the beginning that you would miss the opportunity at your own risk.

Now you figure it out on your own.”
